Blas na Gaeilge ar an mbiachlár
Thu, Apr 08, 2010
Tá Gaillimh le Gaeilge ag tabhairt cuireadh do bhialanna, d’óstáin agus do thithe tábhairne i gcathair na Gaillimhe níos mó Gaeilge a úsáid ar a gcuid biachláir. Dúirt Gearóidín Ní Ghioballáin, bainisteoir tograí le Gaillimh le Gaeilge, “Is maith le turasóirí an Ghaeilge a fheiceáil in úsáid i saol laethúil na cathrach. Cuireann sé go mór lena gcuairt agus lena gcuid measa ar Ghaillimh mar áit speisialta le teacht ar saoire. Is féidir le gnólachtaí atá ag déileáil leis an earnáil turasóireachta buntáiste ar leith a fháil as úsáid na Gaeilge agus táimid ag tnúth le hoibriú leis an earnáil seo chun íomhá dhátheangach na Gaillimhe a neartú.”

Thu, Apr 08, 2010
Farming has historically been the primary industry in this country. As a profession it is under considerable pressure because it is no longer a profitable enterprise for the majority of farmers. Low prices for produce and increased operating costs coupled with the small size of the individual farm units have reduced the commercial viability of the farming industry. In some ways EU regulation is a barrier to development of the industry, although overall, it is true that without the EU it would be in even further economic trouble.
